Summary: "Pickle the Spy; Or, the Incognito of Prince Charles" by Andrew Lang is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the intricate and often treacherous world of Jacobitism in the 18th century, focusing on the enigmatic character known as Pickle the Spy.
